Study Rick Ross.

Breh has managed to stay in the biz for almost 30 years.

And this is with getting exposed for being a cop, a lyric about drugging a woman. Well respected by Jay, Nas, etc

Wayne was relevant from 2007 to 2014
Kanye was relevant from 2004-2011
Em was relevant from 2000-2007

Jay Z was relevant from 1996 to 2017
Nas was relevant from 1991 to 2023

these 2 we need to study
🧢

Nas hasn’t been relevant since 2008 if we talking numbers:mjlol:

Wayne Ye and Em actively having commercial success and still get massive streams and actually chart on Billboard.

:mjlol:

Wayne's relevancy is from 99-2018 due to him being a child prodigy
Kanye's is 2004-2021 due to him making boundary pushing music
Em's is 99-present due to the cac stimulus package

It has more to do with music industry in general. The Tape/CD/Music Video era was constantly producing new stars, which caused artists to have a shorter career on top. The streaming era isn't producing new stars at nearly the same rate, so we hold on to stars from previous eras.
